readx;?; Liu Chuanzhi followed the little maid to the welcome living room, where three people were sitting, and eight people were guarding not far away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Liu Chuanzhi took a slight look and knew that these eight people were basically practicing their families, their bodies were slightly bent, and their eyes were staring at their respective directions, even if they came in by themselves, these were just a glance and then returned to the original direction of attention. The eight men were all dressed in uniform clothes, with short coats on their upper bodies, a pair of trousers underneath, and a pair of high-waisted cloth boots on their feet. If you look closely, the clothes of these people may look rough at first glance, but the sewing is very delicate. Two of them also wore a helmet on their heads, which at first glance did not appear to be made of, covered with a circle of cloth, and on the forehead of the helmet there was a circular piece of cloth with a blue North Star on a white background.

Liu Chuanzhi has been to Dongfang Port several times, and he knows very well that this is the "North Star" known as the Hipsters, and these people have printed the cloth of the Polaris on their helmets, and they should be the soldiers of the Hipsters. Looking at the appearance of these people, they should still be real elite soldiers. Thinking of this, he took a closer look at the nearest elite soldier, the short coat on this person is green, and I don't know if it is because it is not usually washed, the color is messy, there are yellow and black spots everywhere on it, it looks like a flower child, and he immediately wanted to laugh, but found that the pants he was wearing were also the same color, and then look closely, this person is still wearing gloves, and the gloves are also the same spots. Liu Chuanzhi is a veteran after all, and when he saw this situation, he guessed that it should be done on purpose, so he didn't say much, so as not to make jokes about not understanding these things.

The elite soldier had a belt around his waist, and a strap on his belt hung over his shoulders, and on his belt there was a circle of various small cloth bags, many of which were bulging with things, and there were buckles on them, and I don't know what they contained. But on one side of the thigh was a small triangular leather bag, the head and tail of which were not completely closed, with a stalk that appeared to be made of wood exposed on the head and a thin tube on the tail. Liu Chuanzhi knew that this thing was called a "revolver", and when he quietly followed his subordinates to Dongfang Port several times, he saw many servants wearing this thing around their waists, and I heard that it was a kind of handcuff that could be fired continuously. Due to the fact that the army of the Yan people has been fighting during this time, it has also happened from time to time that some weapons damaged in the battle have been stolen by people with ulterior motives during transportation, and one of the revolvers damaged in the battle was sent to Liu Chuanzhi. However, he carefully examined the handcuff, and he really didn't say anything about the workmanship of the man, but he couldn't figure out how to launch such a delicate thing, and now that these people were here, he decided to wait for an opportunity to ask.

These elite soldiers all hold short firearms in their hands, which look lighter than the firearms of the Wu Dynasty army, some of them are more than two feet long, and there are runners on the sides of the guns, which should be filled with sub-medicines; Some are more than three feet long, and there is a large box at the tail of the gun. All of these people held the guns in the same position in their hands, all of them with their mouths facing diagonally downward. Looking at these motionless elite soldiers, Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, even if he was a commander, the best personal soldiers under his command were all standing and staggering during ordinary exercises, where was there such a posture of standing like a pine now?

He took a few steps forward, and a small guy next to him hurriedly shouted, "Master Liu has arrived." ”

Several "real hair" who were sitting and chatting all twisted their heads in the direction of the entrance, and this was the first time Liu Chuanzhi had really seen the real hair with his own eyes. These people in front of him are all ordinary and beardless, and although their skin is slightly dark in the sun, they are very smooth. Sitting at the bottom close to himself, he was also wearing some colorful clothes, and there was a green turban wrapped around his head, and it could be seen from the leakage that the hair on his head was very light, really like a head that had just grown hair, this person's face knew that he should be ten ** years old, and his eyes were looking at himself curiously.

Liu Chuanzhi was about to speak, when he saw the person sitting at the top stand up, this person was a little taller than the others, but he was very thin, wearing a blue short-sleeved gown, and there were several cloth pockets on the gown, which looked like it should be embellished on the jacket, and this figure looked a bit like a large scarecrow at first glance. There was an iron frame resting on the bridge of the man's nose, and there were two small pieces of crystal glass in the frame, and I don't know what it was used for. This person stepped forward and bowed to Liu Chuanzhi and said, "Hello General Liu, we are the northbound detachment of Dongfang Port responsible for escorting supplies, and we will go north to Beijing with the supplies." ”

The enemy Koko is far from cool, and the hatred is tested by Yueyuan

"Huh?" Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but be stunned, "Didn't you just say that you just sent a batch of gifts to Beijing?" Do you want to go in person? ”

"Of course," the man smiled slightly, "I'm Liu Yeqiang from the science and technology department of Dongfang Port, and some of the gifts sent to Beijing this time are relatively complex products that need to be assembled and maintained, and we need to provide training for maintenance personnel for these products." ”

Liu Chuanzhi was confused when he heard it, but this person has a title, and he must also be a figure with a head and a face among the people, so he also bowed his hand and saluted back, "It turns out that it is still a family!" Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! Maybe 500 years ago he was still a family with Mr. Liu! Since you gentlemen want to go together, it is naturally not a problem, but it is a long way to Beijing, and the convoy is quite time-consuming, and the journey of several months consumes grain and grass along the way, and I am afraid that Beihai is a little ......" He said that he was a little hesitant, but he sent about 200 people to escort the tribute this time, and he had to prepare more than 200 taels of silver and three carts of grain just to ensure their expenses along the way. It seems that these people in front of them are pampered on weekdays, and if they go north with this gang of Qiu Ba, they will definitely eat better. In this way, I am afraid that the expenses of the escort personnel will be more than doubled - this is all paid by him Liu Chuanzhi out of his own pocket, if it is sent to the emperor in the capital to be happy and rewarded, it is good, if there is no reward, it is a pure loss.

Liu Yeqiang was about to speak, when he heard a person next to him say, "General Liu just have to rest assured, just because General Liu understands and supports us, General Liu can't let General Liu suffer." As he spoke, he handed over a piece of red paper. Liu Yeqiang turned his head and saw that it was Lu Qi, who didn't know when he took out the gift list. Liu Chuanzhi took it suspiciously, and when he looked at it carefully, his mouth suddenly grinned, it was indeed a gift list, listing a batch of catalogs in detail, and if he didn't look at anything else, just seeing the top "gift money" made Liu Chuanzhi's face bloom. It turned out that the silver given to Liu Chuanzhi alone was 300 yuan, plus 2,000 yuan for sponsoring him to command the embassy.

He had been to the Oriental Harbor several times, and knew that the silver in the Oriental Harbor was not popular, but the silver coins issued by the people themselves were popular, although the weight of a silver coin was a little lower than one tael, but the workmanship was exquisite and the existing conditions could not be imitated, so the value has always been very high. The value of one yuan is definitely not lower than one or two in the Wu Dynasty, and even higher in some places. Although it is said that the sponsorship of the commander is only 2,000 yuan, the money given to himself alone is 300, which is a lot of money. Looking down closely, there is also a batch of salt, salt is a good thing, as fine as snow, in Beihai City, the official salt has long been squeezed out of the market, even if the price of official salt is low, no one buys it. In addition, there was a large number of iron ingots, which were transported directly from the Dongfang Iron and Steel Works, and the quantity was two tons. Although Liu Chuanzhi didn't know how much two tons weighed, it was a gift of three hundred taels to raise his hand, and the weight of these two tons was absolutely indispensable. He almost jumped up at the end - one hundred and fifty kilograms of sugar, what is white sugar? That's something worth more than silver!

In the past, when sugarcane was harvested every year, various sugar workshops would directly squeeze sugarcane juice to cook sugar, and sugar merchants would open scales to collect sugar. However, most of the sugar produced by these local methods is red, hard and large, and there are many impurities, even if it is ground, it is not only ugly like earth, but also has a faint sour taste in the taste, and it is easy to deteriorate after a long time. But instead of these red lumps, the sugar produced by the man-made candies is a white sugar as thin as sand. Compared with brown sugar, white sugar has a sweeter taste, and when dissolved in water, it has a fresh fragrance of sugar cane. Nowadays, a spoonful of such sugar can be worth more than two hundred dollars, how much can this one hundred and fifty kilograms of sugar be worth? He couldn't help but think about it in his heart for a while, but he couldn't help but be frightened again, salt and iron, these two things have always been a state monopoly, and private people are not allowed to touch them, but the first two of the gifts sent by this group of people are salt and iron. The most incredible thing is that they are obviously private salt and iron, but the quality is very high, and the quality is not a little higher than the same product quality at the beginning of the official word. Although these things sent by the squirt man were good, they were hot, and he hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to take them or not.

"These salts were given to the soldiers who guarded Annam, and I thank you for guarding the southern frontier of the Wu Dynasty. Although my China is from overseas, my ancestors are also Chinese people, and they are also responsible for defending the land in China, so they sent these iron gifts to the blacksmiths in the army to build better armaments. In addition, we brought a batch of samples of weapons. With that, Luffy beckoned, and a member of the Special Investigator stepped forward and turned his back to Luffy, who pulled a long knife from the scabbard behind him.

Seeing someone draw a knife, the guards of the Liu Mansion inside and outside were shocked, and they pulled out the short knives on their waists one after another, and a few people stood in the distance with bows and arrows and looked at this side vigilantly. Before Liu Chuanzhi could stop it, he heard the elite soldiers of the few people in front of him whistle, and raised the short guns in their hands one after another, pointing in several directions, almost sealing all the directions that might come, and the two elite soldiers even stepped forward to block these real guns with their bodies.

"Stop!" Liu Chuanzhi and Yang Muqin shouted at the same time, especially Yang Muqin's slightly immature voice. "Put the gun down!" The special investigators were stunned for a moment, but returned to their previous state of alert as ordered, but most of their fingers were already on the trigger, and their eyes were still fixed on the directions that might pose a threat. Liu Chuanzhi waved his hand several times, and then let his subordinates put down the knife.

Lu Qi walked up with the long knife in both hands and said with a smile, "In Xia Lu Qi, at the request of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, I will provide a sample of a long knife for General Liu to see." Liu Chuanzhi nodded and took the long knife, and the long knife was stunned for a moment, this long knife is not heavy, but it is only two-thirds of the weight of the long knife of the border army equipped in his army. However, this long knife is not at all dull and shiny like the iron knife you usually see, and the long knife shows a polished silver luster, and the blade and edge of this long knife seem to be of different materials when you look closely.

Lucci smiled and said, "If you want to know the quality of this knife, you can compare it with a good knife." ”

Liu Chuanzhi nodded, and asked the soldiers on the side to bring their swords. His war knife was specially made from Zhaoqing, Guangdong, and it cost one hundred and fifty taels of silver at that time, and now I heard that it will take at least two hundred taels to build a war knife of the same quality. He has always been proud of his sword, and he wears it every time he reads it.

Lucci nodded and asked, "I wonder how the general wants to compare?" ”

"Chopping copper coins?" A pro-soldier next to him whispered, "Or do you want to blow your hair off?" ”

"Then try them all." Lu Qi nodded, and then Liu Chuanzhi pulled out his war knife, the handle of the war knife was inlaid with red gems, and it was also decorated with a piece of silk, which looked like a treasure knife. In fact, Lucci himself didn't have much bottom in his heart, the ancients didn't know how to make steel, they just didn't understand why steel turned into steel, and they didn't understand at all that to make steel hard was purely a carburizing of iron in the middle. The ancients were able to make a sword that sharpened iron like clay, but it could not be mass-produced, and this sword, which looked quite luxurious, was also a sword that sharpened iron like clay.

Soon, the two pro-soldiers put the two stacks of copper coins on a stack of paper on the stone table outside, and Liu Chuanzhi pointed to a pro-soldier and said, "You have the best knife skills, you come." ”

The soldier hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, took the sword with both hands, and then walked to the table and raised the long knife above his head, and slashed it at the copper coin. As the knife fell, one of the stacks of copper coins fell to the ground, from the top to the bottom, all of which were cut in half from the middle, and there was not a trace of the paper below.

"Good knife technique!" The people next to him cheered, and even a few members of the special investigation team nodded quietly, this kind of knife technique is very good.

"Okay, you go and try." Lu Qi pointed to the special investigator who was carrying a long knife before, and the team member couldn't help but glance at Yang Muqin with some hesitation, and Yang Muqin nodded. The team member hurriedly picked up the long knife from the table from the scabbard on his back, walked to the stone table outside, raised it several times, and then raised it above his head and slashed at the remaining stack of copper coins.
